Office of the Director

In 2012, the Arizona Legislature enacted A.R.S. § 23-1062.03 directing the
Industrial Commission to develop and implement a process for the use of evidence-based
medical treatment guidelines, where appropriate, to treat injured workers. To accomplish
this directive, the Director of the Industrial Commission formed an advisory committee
representing the workers’ compensation community.

The committee has developed the survey described here so that stakeholders and participants
in the Arizona workers’ compensation system can provide input for a better understanding
of the role evidence-based medicine treatment guidelines should have in the delivery
of medical care for workers' compensation claimants. The survey should take no longer
than 15 minutes to complete. Your participation is voluntary and disclosure of your
identity is voluntary. Your responses will be grouped with other like participants.
For example, if you are a medical provider, your responses, including comments,
will be grouped with other medical providers. The results of the survey will be
made available by the committee. The survey will close on April 12, 2013 at 5:00pm
MST.
